Abstract
This chapter explains how to assess the environmental impact of lighting products by applying Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology, and how the LCA results can be used to inform eco-design recommendations to reduce the environmental impact of lighting products. This is illustrated using a real-life example, where the environmental impact of a lighting product manufactured by a lighting manufacturer is assessed with Simapro (LCA-based software). After the illustration, the limitations of LCA are discussed.
